We do not appreciate dishonesty. Your email was posted using a Ugandan IP address.

And I won’t be going to Uganda to “see it for myself”. You are proposing a law to execute me should I visit your country.

Even the words here speak less about its goodness.
Uganda deserves to be in that position for this year.

The political reforms are what have made it to rise these heights.

I coincide with LP on this….

This is appalling — essentially, they are steering foreign money into countries with shaky dictatorships and horrible records of human rights abuses — infusing them with the very foreign capital they need in order to remain in power.

And yep, one has to wonder why it is that so many of them are former British colonies… BBC.. hmm…

And I have to admit that for both the gorgeous scenery and some of the fascinating history I’d consider going to Uganda. For the same reason I’d consider going to Myanmar. Heck, I’d consider going to Jamaica for the beautiful beaches and warm climate.

I’d consider going to those places, but I’m not going to. Even if I could be assured of my own safety (at least as much as any traveler can) I feel that these are places that, through their policies, have put up a big “KEEP OUT” sign. I don’t like their policies, and I won’t even say I respect their right to set policies that violate the human rights of some of their own citizens. There may not be much I can do to prevent such abuses but at least they won’t be getting any of my tourist dollars, and I’d prefer that they not get any of my tax dollars in aid either.

Oh, I forgot, they’re the ones who pay a months salary to watch gay porn, according to Current TV’s “Vanguard,” while they sit there retching and crying.

Who would want to go there anyway?

Their choice to add the UK travel advisory, then, makes me even angrier, as it shows they are digging their heels in on their choice and have no understanding of just how vile this is. As other commenters have noted, they would never gloss over another country’s ongoing pogrom against any other group in favor of the beautiful countryside and wildlife, so LP’s editors now have made it painstakingly clear how little they really value their LGBT readers’ safety and lives. I had been a long-time purchaser of their books and travel guides, but from here on I will value them as little as they value me and spend my travel dollars with their competitors.
